Got our tanks yetsterday and they are GORGEOUS! unfortunately, running late for work this morning so will post them after work tonight.
Ordered a sandblasted tank (feather) on the 25% off until midnight sale as a birthday present for myself. Sent Phiniac an e-mail yesterday to find out what happened to it as it's been 2.5 weeks and I've never had anything take longer than 2 weeks from the US to me. Turns out it had just been returned to them with a damaged shipping label. So I'll be waiting another 2 weeks now 
However, I must say that Chris was very quick to respond to my inquiry and did get it back out to me today via Priority instead of First Class, so there is at least a chance it'll get here faster I just wanted to get in here and say how excited I am to get this beauty and how happy I am with the amazing customer relations I've had thus far with the Phiniac team.
Will post up a nice picture of it when I receive it

I truly hope it gets there quickly. Not sure what happened to the box (it was pretty much trashed as well) or how far it made it on it's way to Canada, I am however happy that the tank was not damaged and that the return address was still some what readable (not that we would not have blasted another for you). I wish there was a way to get it to you faster. I am glad you emailed when you did, as pretty much when I was telling Chris about your email, he was staring at the tattered box trying to figure out how we were going to determine whose tank it was (we have sent out a bunch of feather tanks!)
Here's my new tank on an Ego Mod tube with a Smoktech DCT cartomizer. The first juice I tried is one known to damage plastic tanks, hence I saved it for the Phiniac. Unfortunately, I believe the juice is attacking something inside the cartomizer. I tried two cartomizers and both just kept flooding and juice coming out the center of the battery connector. I never had any juice do that before so I have to conclude, at least in my old mind, that the juice not only damages plastic tanks but can also damage the insides of some cartomizers and cause them to flood. I took my tank apart and rinsed it out to get rid of any trace of that evil juice. Later, when it has thoroughly air dried, I will try again with a juice that plays nice. So far love the tank, hate the juice I tried to christen it with.

The post office must have really done a number on that box since I used to use that box in my phone refurbishment business. They are called "indestructibles" and short of a steam roller going over them they are true to their name. Both the ones I received here in Thailand didn't even show a sign of a nic. That really sounds like a fluke like it fell of the truck and sat in the yard being run over and over all day long. Just shows you how tough the box is and how tough Phiniac tanks are. You could mail it in a paper envelope and they would still arrive in perfect shape.
The label was totally trashed, the box pretty tattered, however not enough to damage the product inside. But the box definately showed some wear!
Not a big deal, this is why we insure all international shipments. I'm just upset the package will take so long to get there. No one should have to wait a month.
well as promised here are the pics of the new tanks.Hard to make out the designs, especially on my wifes as its a very subtle design

Is there another type of teenager. If so I will have to upgrade ours for a better model.
I ordered at noon, and at 4:30PM got the shipping information. Amazingly FAST!!!
The only bummer is that the Stainless Steel Caps are out of stock. I really wanted the Blasted Stainless Steel to match the Provari, and would not use the Delrin, but now I'm stuck with them. Lost the discount for the substitution, and don't know if I can spring $27.95 for the Stainless when they're back in stock.
Such is life in the big city of Chino Valley. LOL

Not the best pic, will get more later, but all I can say is this is the coolest tank ever! Thank you Jennifer and all of the Phiniac crew!
Tank working great with another juice, but somehow I lost the bottom, inner o-ring when I removed the carto, took the tank apart and washed it (sent you a PM regarding o-ring). I guess it popped out when I removed the bad carto and I did not notice. I watched the video before so putting in the new o-ring only took me about one minute. It started out looking like it would never go in but once I got it in there and massaged it, it stayed in place and looked happy in there.
So far, so good. No more carto flooding and leaking from the battery connector. Since the juice killed two brand new cartos I am concluding the juice damaged the inside of the cartos somehow.
Had a very scary experience with my new Cobalt Blue Sand Blasted Tank. I was walking across my room with my mod with full tank in my hand and it slipped out landing tank first on my hard tile floor. When I looked over the tank came out fine, without a scratch, but all the force had been transfered to the cartomizer and mod which were very bent. Surprisingly, no liquid leaked from the tank and the mod and cartomizer still worked despite being bent. Well the Cartomizer didn't make it and my 18650 Mod is a little tweaked but the tank looks brand new which I find amazing. This is one tough tank. Here is a picture of result of the accident.
